- Citation
- [2014] KEHC 7796 (KLR)
- Decided
- 4 April 2014
The application is dismissed with costs to the interested parties
Facts
The applicants sought orders for a stay of proceedings, extension of time for filing a memorandum of appeal, and stay of bill of costs. The applicants claimed they were not satisfied with the judgment and intended to appeal, but the time for filing the appeal lapsed due to the deponent's illness. The interested parties opposed the application, contending it was frivolous and an abuse of the court process.
Issues
- Whether the court has jurisdiction to grant the orders sought
- Whether the applicants have shown sufficient cause to justify the stay of proceedings
Reasoning
The court found the application lacking merit and that the applicants have not shown sufficient cause to justify the stay of proceedings. The court also noted that the appeal may be heard and determined, but the proceedings in the High Court would not be rendered unnecessary.
Outcome
